Rediscover the simple life at this iconic beach hut in Millook on the north coast of Cornwall. First built in the 1920s for use as a genteel tearoom, The Beach Hut is the ultimate secluded seaside hideaway. Occupying an enviable nook above the beach, this idyllic self-catering cottage is an inspiring bolthole far from the madding crowds.

Introduction

Combining stripped floors with white-washed walls, dusted moss clapboard exteriors and an indulgent rustic charm, The Beach Hut is the epitome of seaside chic. This unique self-catering cottage, popular with Hollywood stars in search of peace and quiet, along with many a film and photo shoot, is the perfect place to reconnect with the important things in life. When the sun melts into the ocean in a blaze of orange glory, sip crisp white wine on the decking and watch sequined skies blanket the horizon.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms

The lofty open-plan living space at The Beach Hut flaunts a cloud-soft super king-size bed adorned with squishy cushions, thick blankets and the finest of linens to ensure a blissful night’s sleep. The small separate wet room is perfect for washing off sandy bodies after a day on the beach, and has just enough room for two…

Outside

Perched on a grassy knoll right on the beachfront, The Beach Hut is set in the small valley of Millook between the popular harbour towns of Bude and Boscastle. This secret surf spot (when the conditions are just right) is one of the finest left-hand point breaks in the whole of Europe; sit out on the salt-weathered veranda and watch the surfers gather far out at sea as they ride the Atlantic waves using a heady combination of fearless skill and cat-like dexterity.

For Relaxation

By day, there are several golf courses, coastal walks and woodland rambles for explorers of any ability. As night falls, lovebirds can enjoy a romantic candlelit dinner alongside the toasty woodburner, or snuggle up under blankets on the rocking chair outside to stargaze to the sound of the swell. Lovebirds will be soothed to sleep by the lullaby of the sea outside the window after an active day spent exploring this beautiful corner of rugged north Cornwall.

Practicalities

There is off road parking for one car. In true back-to-basics style there is no washing machine, but there is a microwave, induction oven, dishwasher and Smeg fridge. Guests are kept cosy with the log burner and electric heating.

AROUND THE PROPERTY

Style: Simple seaside chic at its best. "Rough-luxe" best describes the winning combination of shabby-chic and fabulous interior finds. Stripped floorboards and simple furnishings make this the perfect retreat.

EXPLORE. DREAM. DISCOVER.

FOOD AND DRINK

Home-Cooked

The charmingly simple rustic kitchen area might be small but it has all the basics including an induction hob and oven. You can self-cater and enjoy a romantic dinner at the rustic dining table that overlooks the pebble beach and watch the waves crashing against the shoreline.

In-House Cuisine

If you'd rather spend your beach break indulging in the little luxuries, let an in-house chef prepare a mouth-watering meal for you and your party (on prior request and subject to an additional cost).

Eating Out

You probably won’t want to leave The Beach Hut behind once you've arrived, but if you do want a change of scenery, there’s a really great fish restaurant called Life's a Beach which overlooks Summerleaze Beach in Bude, and The Bay View Inn at Widemouth Bay is a good pub in a great location.
